Cherokee Triangle approved its 'vision' in 1989, the size of the buildings was a big component. If developers want to change that, they have to get by hundreds of people putting up signs in opposition.

The neighborhood's streets and yards are lined with signs, reading 'size matters.'

Last weekend, many rallied against the development.

"When you walk down through these neighborhoods, Baringer Avenue, the rest of the triangle, everything is two to three stories, a liveable scale, a comfortable scale," said Holz.

Developer Kevin Cogan, with Jefferson Development Group, said a vibrant city needs density.

The company's attorney spoke with WLKY last year.

"This is a very upscale, higher price point project and I think there are a number of people out there who would love to be in the triangle and have a nice residence like this with the amenities of this project," said LLC attorney Timothy Martin.

Developers need to convince the Louisville metro planning commission tonight to recommend changing the land's zoning to allow for a bigger building.

The neighborhood association plans to speak as well.

"It's about neighbors having the right to say what goes in our neighborhood," said Holz.

That planning commission meeting and public hearing is set for Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Douglass Community Center.
